Typography: Humanist and Collage Designer

1. The humanist type that caught my eye while I was browsing the different writings was the LTC Kennerley Swash









2. For the research on collage designers, the one who caught my eye immediately was Hannah Hoch. 



What caught my attention is how she uses the human body within her collages and the color being used.

Hannah Hoch was a pioneer of the art form that became well known as photomontage. Most of her pieces involve the mass culture of the beauty and fashion industries. For this she became well known in the beauty industry for her work, and was used for advertising. 

I think this is why it really caught my eye, since the first picture I saw was the one above (with the vibrant red lips), it gave me a sense of make up or beauty involve within the meaning. Make up has been a hobby of mine and I am looking forward to continuing my career in that field. This is most probably going to be my inspiration for my poster project.
